Viewers watching NBC’s Today Show sent worried messages on Twitter after Andrea Mitchell appeared to become disoriented during a live report from Washington just after 7 a.m. ET.
“And good morning to you Savannah, that in fact that this. Excuse me, Savannah,” said Mitchell, as she began. After a moment, Mitchell threw to her package on Hillary Clinton.
Two minutes later, Mitchell was fine and flawless during her live tag. But viewers wondered what had happened:
@TODAYshow is Andrea Mitchell OK?
